Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1302387A1] Modular chassis comprises a front module (4a) formed as a crash element for receiving an air/coolant heat exchanger, a drive module (4b) for receiving an engine (5), a gearing (6), a retarder and a front axle (7) with a spring and/or damper, a central module (4c), a rear axle module (4d) for receiving a rear axle (8) with a spring and/or damper, and a rear module (4e) formed as a crash element for receiving a trailer coupling. Support modules are fixed to longitudinal supports (3) and each have a self-supporting structure with a U-shaped sink profile. An extension module (9) is assigned to each support module and is fixed to the support module and/or to the longitudinal supports. <??>Preferred Features: The support modules are each fixed to the longitudinal supports from below. Each support module has an L-shaped step (11) on both free ends of the sink profile.
